Chapter 004 Player transfer is no different from buying and selling cabbage
On June 19, 2007, the official website of AC Milan suddenly issued an announcement announcing that Brazilian scorer Oliveira, who had transferred to San Siro for 17 million euros a season ago, transferred to La Liga team Zaragoza for 11 million euros.
There is no warning about this transfer. Although everyone knows that this parallel trader, who has been scolded by the Italian media for a season, will leave San Siro, but I didn't expect AC Milan to move so quickly.
This is a signal.
The Italian media immediately identified this as a signal that AC Milan has made every effort to pursue the glory and has made substantial progress.
"Oliveira is gone, Zhang Yang will rule San Siro. After a season, the Ross and Blacks finally realized who is their true destiny." - "Roman Sports"
"Buy for 17 million, sell for 11 million, AC Milan lost 6 million in this in and out, but did they lose only 6 million? A season ago, the Ross and Blacks only had to spend 18 million euros to get the ball, what about now? The price is more than twice." - Turin Sports
For a moment, people's eyes were turned to Milan City, and all signs showed that the most outstanding young man in European football is likely to be in charge of San Siro.
After knowing from super agent Mendes that Zhang Yang was finally intent, Gagliani was ecstatic and arrived in Marseille by private jet from Milan overnight. Just an hour later, photos of Gagliani appearing in Marseille with a smile on her face were seen in the newspapers. This also confirmed people's speculation.
Galliani brought AC Milan's latest offer, 38 million euros, or about 29 million pounds.
Galliani's offer is also very particular. The price is higher than the 26.5 million pounds Liverpool bought Torres, which is 6 million less than the 35 million pounds Chelsea's offer.
This price is moderate, after all, everything needs to be discussed at the negotiating table.
Originally, Galliani wanted to pressure Marseille through Mendes to suppress the transfer fee, but after hearing Mendes reposting Zhang Yang's meaning, Galliani immediately lost his heart. The vice chairman of the Ross and Blacks also knew that this time, Milan's name was really not very effective, because Zhang Yang did not lack pursuers. Manchester United was eyeing him. Galliani also understood a little that Ronaldo had made great contributions to the reason why Zhang Yang was inclined toward Milan, and they had to cherish Zhang Yang's tendency. Now, it is not the time to be petty about money.
Marseille club manager Anigo and Gagliani had a "hard" negotiation. He wanted to strangle the bald man sitting opposite him. This bald man was too difficult and he was still the vice chairman of AC Milan, who was so petty.
However, Anigo is also a little clear about the current situation of AC Milan. This traditional Italian giant is indeed not well-funded. If it weren't for just winning the UEFA Champions League championship this season, he could get about 20 million from the Champions League dividends, and the 11 million euros he had just sold Oliveira, otherwise, there would be no funds to participate in the competition for Zhang Yang.
Of course, Anigo would not sympathize with his negotiating opponents. All he had to do was to get the best interests for Marseille.
"Four-eight million, this is the bottom line of Marseille." Anigo shouted. Of course he was talking about the euro, which is 48 million euros, which is 37 million pounds, which is probably the media's valuation for the sake of the ostentatious. However, the media's valuation is generally high. For example, the media's valuation for Torres was 35 million pounds, while Atletico Madrid's valuation for the final transfer to Liverpool was 26.5 million pounds, a 8.5 million pounds less.
So, Anigo is obviously a lion's talk. Of course, this is a lion's talk. If the negotiator is Chelsea, it is not a lion's talk. The Chelsea have already bid 35 million pounds. However, Zhang Yang has also expressed to the Marseille club that he does not want to go to Chelsea and prefers AC Milan. Therefore, Marseille can only look at the Chelsea checks and is greedy. Fortunately, Zhang Yang has a good relationship with Marseille, and it is a good time to part with him. Zhang Yang did not help AC Milan to lower the price, but instead watched it from the wall.
"Thirty-nine million euros, no more can be done." Galliani raised the price slightly.
"Fourty-eight million." Anigo refused to give in.
In fact, the player's transfer negotiations are no different from the bargaining of buying a cabbage on the street, but the "goods" are too expensive.
The talks lasted about two hours, and the gap between the two sides was too big and there was no agreement at all. Just when Galliani planned to temporarily suspend the negotiations and have a short rest and fight for another 300 rounds, Marseille proposed a new transfer plan.
Galliani looked at it and was a little stunned. Isn’t this a modified version of the plan provided to Marseille by AC Milan before.
The proposal proposed by Marseille is 35 million euros Gagiardino.
Galliani did not speak immediately, but began to calculate the calculations. Girardino's current net worth is about 16 million. In fact, Girardino's previous net worth was lower, but now Girardino has won the UEFA Champions League championship with AC Milan, and his net worth has increased to a certain extent.
By doing this, Marseille's plan is equivalent to increasing Zhang Yang's value to 51 million euros.
This is definitely not OK. Do you really think AC Milan is Kaizi? We are not Russian Kaizi. Now AC Milan has to spend one cent as one and a half cents.
However, the focus of the problem is not here. The key is that Girardino is unwilling to leave Milan, and even if he leaves Milan, he will not choose to come to Ligue 1.
Therefore, in Galliani's opinion, this transfer plan for Marseille is already a cross.
The two sides announced that they could not reach an agreement and would go on a break and continue after a night of rest.
Mendes learned about the talks between Galliani and Anigor at the first time, and then he informed Zhang Yang. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yang was very calm about the deadlock in the negotiations.
"You're not worried about the negotiations breaking down?" Mendes asked.
"What's there to worry about?" Zhang Yang asked back.
Mendes was stunned and then smiled. The boy obviously felt that he had the strength now and was qualified to bargain with the wealthy families. Then he felt a little moved. It was only one year. When Zhang Yang was first attracted by AC Milan and rejected him last year, Mendes's emotions were very affected when he saw Zhang Yang. Now, after this season's crazy performance, this boy is also qualified to show off.
However, this is nothing strange. In any place, you rely on your strength to speak, and even more so in football.
The next day, when Anigo and Galliani negotiated, there was one more person, and the ‘super agent’ Mr. Jorge Mendes also joined. Zhang Yang is his player. At the last moment of the transfer negotiation, Mendes' joining was reasonable. In addition, with such an amazing super agent mediating from it, it is easier for both sides to find a balance point.
Galliani communicated with Girardino's agent overnight yesterday, but Girardino still refused to go to Marseille to play football. In addition, the former Parma scorer expressed some dissatisfaction with the team's intention to use him as a top player in the transfer.
Galliani had no time to pay attention to Girardino's dissatisfaction for the time being, but he had unexpected gains. Braida called Galliani and said that Borilo agreed to go to Marseille to play football.
After careful consideration, Galliani expressed a certain understanding of Borelo's willingness to go to Marseille to play football. Borelo was born in the Milan youth training camp, but he has been loaned by Milan. Even if he returns to Milan, he has no place to stay. It is estimated that Borelo is tired of such a wandering career and finally decided to leave Milan and find a team to settle down. Marseille, as the new Ligue 1 champion, may not look down on him, but for Borelo, it is indeed a relatively good place to go.
But now, the problem is that Marseille is interested in Girardino, not Borelo.
Galliani told Anigo that Girardino was unwilling to come to Marseille, but Borelo was willing, how about it? Consider it.
Anigo was stunned, Borelo? Who is this? Ahhhh, it seems to be a little impressionable, but as the team manager, he really can't make the decision. He wants to add Girardino to the transfer. This is the request of Marseille coach Fernandez. After Zhang Yang left the team, Marseille needs a new offensive point. As an Italian international, Girardino is naturally strong and meets Fernandez's requirements. Of course, it is incomparable to Zhang Yang. Moreover, Fernandez knew that it was unrealistic to get an Italian international who was playing in the transfer market to Marseille, so he raised it on Zhang Yang's transfer matter. Unexpectedly, he was rejected.
"Hey, Jean, the Milanese proposed to join Borelo in the transfer. What do you think?" Anigo found a place where no one called Jean Fernandez.
"Borelo?" Fernandez was thinking quickly in his mind, his technical characteristics, ability, physical conditions, etc. As a head coach, he naturally had a good idea of these data. Moreover, Fernandez had really paid attention to Borello, although he was only watching Borello's video while paying attention to Giladino.
"How is it?" Anigo urged.
"Yes." Fernandez pondered for a moment. It was certainly good that Girardino could come. If he couldn't come, Borello would be good. This big man is still capable. In the Ligue 1, he can still be considered a top scorer. Of course, it's incomparable to Zhang Yang. The Marseille head coach sighed again and was entangled again.
When Anigo nodded when he heard Fernandez say yes, he immediately continued to ask, what is Borello's price?
"No more than eight million euros." Fernandez said firmly, which means that if the Milanese value Borello for more than eight million, they would treat us as Kazi.
After learning about the situation from Fernandez, Anigo knew it clearly and returned to the conference room to continue the tripartite talks.
"Boleloga forty million!" Anigor shouted.
"Boleloga 30 million!" shouted Galiani.
"Boleloga 41 million!" Anigo proudly reduced one million euros.
"Boleloga 31 million!" Galiani frowned.
"Boleloga forty million!" Anigo slapped the table.
"Boreloga 32 million!" Galiani also slapped the table.
Compared with Zhang Yang, Borelo was the real cabbage that was being sold at this time.
Mendes saw these two people slamming the table and smashing the bench for a long time, and he looked at it with a smile. The outsider looked at the player's transfers mysteriously. In fact, it's not like this. It's like buying something, you shout and I cut the price. It's just that this kind of transaction is just a sky-high price. In the end, if you reach a balance point and then you open champagne, it seems like you have never blushed.
Finally, Marseille manager Anigo shouted in a hoarse voice, "Three Six million Gaborello!"
Galliani did not shout immediately this time, but calmly thought for half a minute, then walked out of the conference room while making a phone call. A minute later, the vice-chairman of AC Milan rushed in with his eyes green, "Three hundred and fifteen million Gaborello! If not, I will go back to Milan."
Anigo immediately picked up the phone, dialed a number, and whispered to the other end of the phone in French for half a minute, then hung up, got up, stretched out his right hand, "Trade!"
Papa, Mendes saw the two of them shook hands, he stood up and applauded, then took out a bottle of red wine like a magic trick, filling three goblets.
“Happy cooperation, cheers!”
"cheers!"
"cheers!"
Galliani and Anigo looked at each other and could not tell at all that they were blushing and thick-necked just now.
"Mr. Galliani, look, are you going back and rest for a night first? Let's talk about Zhang's personal treatment tomorrow." Mendes said with a smile.
Galliani originally wanted to say no, we could start immediately, but when he saw the smiling face of the Super Agent, he immediately changed his words, "Okay, I'm a little tired, I'll talk about the specific contract details tomorrow."
Compared with Anigo, this guy named Jorge Mendez is the most difficult one. Galiani rubbed his temples and reminded himself to be careful.
It's not easy to be a big housekeeper.
However, no matter what, the biggest obstacle to Zhang Yang's transfer has been cleared. AC Milan and Marseille Club have basically reached an agreement on Zhang Yang's transfer value. If Borello, who is the main player in the transfer, is estimated to be 8 million euros, then Zhang Yang's final transfer value will be around 43 million euros.
If this transfer is finally reached, it will be almost the biggest transfer investment in these years since AC Milan spent 35 million to buy Rui Costa that year.
Thinking of this, Galliani was so painful. It only cost 18 million to do last year, but now it has cost 43 million!
I spent 25 million more!
Chapter completed!
